OBJECTIVE: To verify the relationship of modifiable risk factors, clinical complications and drug therapy with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in individuals with heart failure (HF). METHODS: Cross-sectional study with secondary data from the matrix study Cerebral infarction in patients with heart failure: associated characteristics and left atrial function. The sample comprised 75 adult individuals treated at a reference outpatient clinic in Salvador, Bahia. LVEF groups were classified: reduced LVEF (LVEFr) ≤ 40%, intermediate LVEF (LVEFi) 40-49%, and preserved LVEF (LVEFp) ≥50%. An analysis was conducted using SPSS software and considered statistical significance p≤0.05. RESULTS: The sample had an average age of 62±10 years; the majority were men n=42 (56%), functional class II/IV n=41 (54.7%) and of idiopathic etiology n=33 (44%). LVEF and LVEFp were similar n=31 (41%), followed by LVEFi n=13 (18%). The LVEF subgroups were related to Diabetes Mellitus (DM) as a risk factor (p=0.049), Cerebral Vascular Accident (CVA) as a complication (p=0.001), drug therapy with beta-blockers (p=0.004) and Converting Enzyme Inhibitors of Angiotensin (ACEI/ARB) (p=0.007). CONCLUSION: DM as a risk factor, stroke as a complication, and beta-blocker medications and ACE inhibitors/ARBs are related to LVEF in individuals with HF.
